Oh, thank you for mentioning racism Ridley. Do you realize how much blood has been shed in the name of religion? All types of believers - Christians included - have been killed because they didn't belong to a certain sect. Now if you're an atheist then this is complete nonsense, none of these...

Bah, I don't think it's all that scary. It's just gonna feel like the way it felt like before you were born.

Here's my take on this. Christians insult me for just being a Christian. Essentially they are saying that they are right while everyone else is wrong. Not only that, but because you are wrong, you go to a place of eternal torment while they get to go to a place of eternal bliss. Now while...

Oh boy, here we go. Atheism is a state of normalcy. It shouldn't even be a word, just like a-unicornism isn't a word and a-dragonism isn't a word. Atheism, by definition, is simply the lack of belief in a god. That is different from the belief in the non-existence of a god. Religion, on the...

<img src="http://iidb.org/ubb/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> BFF you have to be the most ignorant person I know. If you really think humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time, then I don't know what to tell ya. BTW, TLGA seems to be going against ignorance, not Christianity. If...

Wow pichu, you certainly seem to like to post almost exactly after the 21 year old feller. G4F and Massy, are you going to create a new topic for your discussion?

Ben, there's no point in trying to talk through the wall you've built around yourself.

What I mean is, if God knows the outcome of everything, and he is all-powerful, why not just hasten the outcome? There certainly is no need for everything inbetween. Free will doesn't even come into question when you know who will be saved and who won't anyway. Does he just like to watch us...

I have a question. If God already knows the outcome of everything, then why bother?

The only thing atheism means is lack of belief in a God. So yes, Buddhists are atheists.
